(the same version work fine but testing means see if it work with d80211 based wifi module which are integrated in the 2.6.21rc1 kernel) Mock log avaible in the same directory rpmlint is silent compiled on fc6 for fc7 i386 (x86_64 can be done if needed) A discution should be held about inclusion of madwifi lib needed to enable master mode support for this module (without including madwifi binary daemon) yet, enabling d80211 means to bundle d80211 taken from intel website (or else)... This solution isn't good and headers should be held in kernel-header (this wasn't the case with 2.6.20-1.2949.fc7) Also, using a proper versionned BR about kernel-headers since it will requires 2.6.21rc1 from kernel.org that are kernel.2.6.20_and_some_more in fedora. This would mean the easier BR will be to use 2.6.21 when avaible... Question is the relation with wpa-supplicant because it will also need paching against d80211 and may need to enable wpa_supplicant-devel to allow using wpa on master mode acces point...

I'll review this package. Some quick remarks - you should drop #ifdefs for FC-6 since its no longer supported. Another one note - I think we should update hostapd up to 0.6.2 (latest devel release).
Also you should drop mac80211 and wpa_supplicant from package - I think they no longer needed.
please don't start review... It is aimed for coordination of efforts and testing use only... The last attempt was here: http://kwizart.free.fr/fedora/testing/8/SRPMS/hostapd-0.6.1-1.kwizart.fc8.src.rpm This package isn't ready since the mac80211 part for master mode will not be stabilized until 2.6.25 kernels (at least, as said linville). As such there is still missings headers. Maybe we could ask linville to have a testing kernel for such attemps (because there is also a need to test some special patches for master mode.)
OK, Fedora 9 ships kernel-2.6.25. What's the current status of this request?
SRPM: http://rpms.kwizart.net/fedora/testing/8/SRPMS/hostapd-0.6.1-1.kwizart.fc8.src.rpm My previous website is down. Here is the last version. I will try to re-work on it later...
I've taken a look at the package because I plan on using it. So: - minor nitpick: duplicate BuildRequires: zlib-devel (by openssl-devel), krb5-devel (by openssl-devel) - what's the reason of defining _version and using %{_version} instead of simply using %{version}? technically it's OK, but it is also useless Please let me know when the package is ready for review, for the moment mock build fails because you BR madwifi bits (which are not available in fedora)
I will try to rework on this package soon, but i don't know if this will be relevant (specially as some master mode functions will still miss from the kernel, even from Rawhide kernel).
Marking this as not being ready for review; please clear the whiteboard when it is ready.
I don't plan to work on this anymore
